Would you mind to send me 3-4 /proc/meminfos and /proc/cpuinfos from your Aurora boxes with this patch, preferably after some uptime? Also, did you think about a deadlock-free runtime resizing of the nocache memory? I did not even bother with boot-time resizing, because run-time resizing sounds doable and certainly nobler. -- Pete
